Where can I watch that thing where he was interviewed at Whitley Bay...i think? Was out recently.

Great result but a bit more nervy than expected 2nd half. That 4th goal was a relief. Got a flashback to that last day at home to WBA when we blew a 3 goal lead and let that lot down the road finish above us.

Watched most of the Scottish championship play off between Raith and Partick. Raith at home and 2-1 up after the 1st leg. Partick won 2-1 last night and went to pens after ET. Raith missed the 1st pen but eventually won the shoot out. I'm sure Partick lost the play off last season too. They missed good chances in normal time and their keeper was either mm away or got a hand on all Raiths pens too. Enjoyable game unless you're a Partick fan.

Seems like the re-match with Easington, after the heated play off is one most are looking forward to. As well as trips to far flung and exotic places like Guisborough, Penrith, Kendal, even Carlisle.

Even a chance of FA cup ties being played in Scotswood.

Think that was suggested viewing when I turned Bromley Boys off. Next on my list I think.

Stumbled across a film on prime called "Bromley Boys" about a young lad who against his fathers (Alan Davies) wishes is into football in 1969. Sits at the family meal table saying why can't I be a West Ham fan, or Tottenham's only an hour away on the train. His mother (Martine McCutcheon) says what about that little team down the road? Bromley. Only watched about 20 mins so far but looks ok. Fanatical about Bromley who were bottom of the Isthmuan league at the time.

There was a group of younguns there with their easington FTM flag with safc crest on singing stand up if you hate the mags etc. Young lass running the line complained about abuse from them and the game was held up for about 15 mins. Then there was a rumour one of them had a knife and one or 2 blue star officials challenged them. Turns out it was a comb with a knife like handle. Did look like a knife at 1st glance. Seemed like something happened after the 1st goal but couldn't see from where I was. A further hold up. Easington were the better team I'm sad to say. Try again next season.

Bairns get in for nowt too. U16 I think but might be worth checking the age restriction. Should be a big crowd tonight. Setting off shortly.

Wow! Don't know who's more embarrassed, players or fans. Things can only get better playing in the background ?. TBH can't blame the fans for turning on them but they're the same ones happy to give it "Sunland til i die" when things are going better.

Just one win/3 draws leaves Chelsea needing 3 wins out of 4 to finish above us. Big pressure. Can't see W Ham catching us. Man U? Who knows but a euro place is certainly there for the taking.

Cracking crowd of 1061 at Blue Star v Horden, NL2 play off semi last night. 2-1 Blue Star. Home to easington in the final on Wednesday.

Aye, they do have loads of young teams which should stand them in good stead for the future.

Before Blue Star came back to existence I spent a few years going to and enjoying Dunston games. Blue Star came back so felt like I should follow my local non league team so been going to Scotswood a fair bit. Play off home to Horden tomorrow night and dunno if any other oldies remember "Keegans hot dogs"? but they've got a van there tomorrow with a livery with KK and red number 7s on it. It is Keegans hot dogs after all. Id post a pic if i wasn't so un tech savvy. There was a post in the Blue Star WhatsApp group today where someone said "We are Blue Star not NUFC and anything to do with NUFC should be banned from the club". Surely not wise to alienate fans of both? They run out to local hero, owner and top goalscorer been away to watch the toon in Europe this season. Guess there's always one but it's never felt as welcoming as Dunston.

Would be surprised, amazed even if they could do that at their current site.

Aye, I'd probably be happier with a Spurs win tomorrow because keeping Chelsea at bay improves our great chance of finishing 6th/7th and gaining a euro place of some sort, while a 5th place finish is a long shot.

Think the Luton bloke tried to bring in ID cards for fans too. Knee jerk reactions after a bad night when Millwall fans stormed their pitch and smashed half of Kenilworth Road up, mid 80s.

Aye, hadn't realised W Ham have such awful fixtures.

Think that's how it works. My local club Blue Star are in the NL2 play offs and that's how they work in that division by all accounts.

An unbelievable 40 years to the day since we beat Carlisle in our promotion season. Think it was Easter Monday? Carlisle were also contenders for much of that season. Saved a pen then broke upfield to score at the other end. Happy days. This from nufc.com: 1984 Carlisle United (h) 5-1 (2-0) Division Two P38, 73pts, 3rd/22 Keegan(12,54), Waddle(39), Beardsley(73,77) Coughlin(80) 33,458 Vandals broke into the ground before this bank holiday game and sprayed slogans on the pitch related to an ongoing criminal trial. A claim of broken glass also having been scattered was found to be false and after the offending slogans had been painted out, the match went ahead as scheduled. Kevin Carr saved Alan Shoulder's penalty and also a follow-up shot with Keegan heading United's third seconds later as play rapidly switched to the other end of the field. Victory and favourable results in the games involving rivals Manchester City and Grimsby Town meant that promotion was in reach - United having a seven point cushion with four games remaining.

Aye, remember him being at Cosy Joes. The cheek of him, given how he hates the mags so much. Strangely didn't see him wear his FTM shorts in there though. I once got forcibly manhandled out of there for drunkenly giving him verbals. Dunno if he still gets in there like as getting older means I have rare night's in town these days.

Can't stand either set of fans either and certainly agree with you on the arrogance matter but Man u spend almost whole games trying to wind opposing fans up, certainly ours. Scousers are a peculiar bunch. I like the city. Stayed there many times and the people, in every day life are generally decent. Then they turn into cunts when it comes to football.

There simply isn't a set of more arrogant, antagonistic set of "fans" in the country.

So...Chelsea finish 6th, us 7th and Manure 8th we'd need Citeh to win to give us even a Conference league place?
